Cuomo: “Decisive Victory” for Obama

After taking in Tuesday’s presidential debate, Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a statement shortly before midnight last night declaring a “decisive victory for President Obama.”

Cuomo:

“The second debate was clearly a decisive victory for President Obama. He demonstrated he has an effective record as commander in chief, presented a real plan for moving America’s economy forward, and provided a stark contrast to Mitt Romney’s endorsement of the same failed ideas that led us into this fiscal crisis in the first place. New Yorkers and all Americans were given a clear choice in this debate for our nation’s future and the President’s performance has made it an easy choice.”

The Democratic governor also made a semi-surprise appearance in the so-called “spin room,” where top Democrats and Republicans descend on reporters to give their take on the debate that just happened. (Cuomo wasn’t on a list of official Obama surrogates, but had said earlier in the day that he would “comment” after the debate.)
